In the military we had gun safety classes for those with personally owned firearms every time we got to a new duty station as part of the on-boarding process

Each one brought in a local cop to talk and inevitably in every talk they tell a story about their own negligent discharge of a firearm that nearly killed someone

I was in the military for almost 10 years, handled countless number of loaded weapons and I never once had a negligent discharge

Cops in general appear to have a problem with it though, maybe we should be the ones giving them the classes

Someone was going to talk to IA.

Why is it that female officers seem to be the ones who have negligent discharges more often?

There has been like 3 in as many months including this.

One shot a citizen who was totally compliant and was being disarmed as part of a traffic stop. She pulled the trigger as she removed it from his waistband and shot him in the leg.

Another one was clearing a house and shot at a mirror when she saw her reflection. Yes, she saw a uniformed officer in a mirror(herself) and shot at them.

And now this.
